Lakers-Warriors rivalry on full display outside Crypto.com arena for game 4

Mike and Cher as you know, it was a close game that came down to the wire. The Lakers pulling off a victory tonight against the Golden State Warriors. That much closer to advancing in this playoff series. But yes, as you mentioned, a big rivalry, NorCal vs SoCal. And as you can imagine after tonight's win, Laker fans going crazy. Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! And I'm a big Die Hard Laker fan and we're up 3-1. We're up 3-1 and guess what? We're taking that chip.

The LA Bay Area feud on full display outside of Crypto.com Arena. The Lakers taking on the Warriors on home turf. At stake, more than just bragging rights. We got the Bay Area that comes down thinking they own Southern California. But really Southern California is the spot to be. When you think of California, you think of Southern California.

So it's a conflict of power in the state. All-time Lakers being fed. A conflict that is putting some marriages to the test. The girls are warrior fans and the boys, they're Laker fans in our house. The battle between stars LeBron James vs Steph Curry. It's like the battle of California. And as Dan Ryan drove all the way from Bakersfield for tonight's pivotal game 4 of the conference in my finals.

Die Hard Laker fan all my life. My dad grew up when they moved west out to Los Angeles. We followed him in the 70's, 80's. Now I brought my son in. He's been born in 2008 so he's been a Laker fan since then. So you guys bleed purple and gold then? Yes, yes we do. And a final score.

104-101. The Lakers now take a 3-1 series lead. They head to San Francisco for game 5 on Wednesday. Reporting live in downtown LA, Carlos Alcedo, KTLA 5 News.
